Cream (take 2) just dropped

Cream (take 2) is out! Definitely enjoying it! Like it better than the album version/ single. Less production and just Prince!

It's nice to have but nothing really happens. It's just a demo. Cool to hear the progression of the song from this to the album version. The acoustic version from the Webster Hall performance remains the best though.

I like it.

I love the album version and this is cool to have.

It's a rougher version. It's sounds like a rehearsal.

Bluegangsta mentioned it rocking out a bit more on the reprise. I do like that part.

I really like it. I love the original as well but I don't like Rosie Gaines voice. This version fixes that aspect at least.

Yeah, this is nice to have. And I don't mind these kind of tracks being the previews of the set
since -for me anyway- they would get lost in the heap of new stuff once the set is released.

I think I'll need a bit of time to soak in the 'new' material first and then re-appreciate all the
outtakes in better quality.

Alternate album versions are very low on my list of interest, although I do enjoy having them.

So getting them as previews gives me some time with them without distraction. Like with the
V2 of Horny Pony, which I love to bits!

Its probably something I can listen to once or twice more, then never need to hear again.
Also, no Rosie warble is a good thing imo.

Could not agree more, that and "She's Got The Look", I never understood their commercial appeal, outside of the fact that the general population usually sucks at picking out great music.

It’s a demo, and very interesting to hear.
I’d rather have more unheard songs, but this type of thing is very usual on many artists’ “Expanded Editions”

I keep seeing people talk about this but can't find where it's released. Not on Apple Music or Prince YouTube.

I love the album version (and video), but this more stripped-down, heavier guitar version is a nice surprise. That being said, I’d prefer if all of the vault tracks not include alternate versions of songs that we already have. (If we’re just limited to 33 unreleased tracks.)
